Castlestone Management, the boutique New York and London asset manager which recently launched the world's first retail art investment fund-Collection of Modern Art-published independent research from a University of Maastricht professor showing that art is an investible asset class.

The firm asked respected market researcher Dr. R.A.J. Campbell of Maastricht University's Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, to investigate whether art really represented an analyzable and investible asset class. The results make for interesting reading for any investor looking to diversify their portfolios into real assets.

Her research shows that real assets, including art, have outperformed financial assets in certain decades, especially during periods of inflation. If, as many fear, the global policy of 'printing money' leads inevitably to high inflation, art fund investing could help to shelter portfolios from the inflation storm. This could well be the case for the next decade as value of money continues to decrease.
